+# Security Policy
+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+`apache/cloudstack-cloudmonkey` follows the [Apache Software Foundation security process](https://www.apache.org/security/).
+Please report suspected vulnerabilities privately to `security@apache.org`; do not
+open public GitHub issues or pull requests for security reports.
+
+## Threat Model
+
+`apache/cloudstack-cloudmonkey` is part of the Apache CloudStack project and is covered by the
+**project-wide CloudStack threat model** rather than a per-repository copy. What the
+project treats as in scope and out of scope, the security properties it provides and
+disclaims, the adversary model, and how findings are triaged are documented in that
+model: <https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/blob/main/THREAT_MODEL.md>.
+
+(That link resolves once the project-wide model lands on `apache/cloudstack`'s
+`main` branch — see apache/cloudstack#13293. A thin `cloudstack-cloudmonkey`-specific
+addendum can be added here later if this component needs one.)
